Research summary

Margaret E. M. Thomas works in mathematical logic, specifically model theory, a branch of mathematics that studies abstract structures and the sets and functions definable within them. Her recent work focuses on o-minimal structures (a class of well-behaved ordered mathematical systems), Pfaffian functions, and counting problems related to the Pila–Wilkie theorem, which connects logic to number theory and diophantine geometry. This research sits at the intersection of pure logic, topology, and applications to counting rational and algebraic points on curves and surfaces.

Publication output over the last decade has been low and irregular, with about one paper appearing every year or two rather than a steady or growing yearly output.
